Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark.) fired back at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who called President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Dr. Benjamin Carson as secretary of housing & urban development "disconcerting" and "disturbing".

Huckabee asked why Carson, a renowned former Johns Hopkins neurosurgeon, could solve issues in "one of the most complex systems on the planet" but not handle the responsibilities of HUD.
